Ada suxxors

British vs American English

Hi, would you please take a look at WP:ENGVAR? It's really uncalled for to change British English into American English with the edit summaries you used (referring to 'dumb persons'). Beside that, welcome to Wikipedia! Oliphaunt 22:52, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Changing back and forth between alternate spellings isn't very productive, but I appreciate that you weren't the first to change it. My major point was your edit summary, in which you called perfectly acceptable alternatives 'typo's, and what's more, called the author 'dumb'. Please try to remain civil.

   Welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. As a member of the Wikipedia community, I would like to remind you of Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy for editors, which you appear to have violated at VxWorks. In the meantime, please be bold and continue contributing to Wikipedia. —Elipongo (Talk|contribs) 08:57, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Discussion

There's various forums for discussions, but Wikipedia isn't one of them. Wikipedia is for encyclopedia articles, and the talk pages are for that end only.--Prosfilaes 15:15, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Ada

You left the following note on my talk page:

You did the following: "Removed rant ("This is not a forum for general discussion about the article's subject."))" Ok. So, what is the proper venue for discussion? Respond back at my talk page, thanks.

I am not sure I understand what you are asking for. The text that I removed from Talk:Ada (programming language) was this:

Ada sucks. Ada is dead. Why do people still use it? Especially some Dod companies? You can do EVERYTHING in C++. Any Ada programmer who claims you can't doesn't know ish about C++. Even call by naming can be done in C++. Explicit type safety can be done. The best is when someone says that they like Ada over C++. They should really just quit and program Ada at home, then. Anyone who thinks such just shouldn't have a job. I hate Ada.

Talk pages for articles are forums for discussion of ways to improve the respective articles, they are not forums for general discussion about the subjects of the respective articles. If you want to discuss the advantages or disadvantages of C++ over Ada you would have to go to a forum like comp.lang.ada or comp.lang.c++. —Tobias Bergemann 15:51, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Addendum: If you would like to respond to what I wrote above, please do so on this page instead of my talk page, so that our exchange won't be split to two different pages. Thanks in advance. — Tobias Bergemann 15:55, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
